Description
Data
Bar Chart
Pie Chart

This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by their proficiency in English. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.

Summary

How well people whose main language is not English (English or Welsh in Wales) speak English.

Proficiency in English language: Total: All usual residents aged 3 years and over	342,637
Main language is English (English or Welsh in Wales)	312,028
Main language is not English (English or Welsh in Wales)	30,609
Main language is not English (English or Welsh in Wales): Can speak English very well	13,487
Main language is not English (English or Welsh in Wales): Can speak English well	10,522
Main language is not English (English or Welsh in Wales): Cannot speak English well	5,595
Main language is not English (English or Welsh in Wales): Cannot speak English	1,005

These values are calculated by adding up the values for census output areas contained within Caerdydd. They may, therefore, be slightly inaccurate due to administrative boundaries not precisely aligning with census boundaries.
